More Sharpie Goodness

Here are a couple of pics of my latest foray into jazzing up boring bags with my good ol' Sharpie 

the meta messenger bag

  So you may remember my first post on jazzing up boring purses http://thedelightist.blogspot.com/2013/07/say-no-to-boring-purses-with-your.html.  This was waaaayyy back a year ago when i was a blogging newbie.  And a year later here I am, I can't stop blogging or doodling on stuff for reasons I can't decipher.

Anyhow, this started out as a fairly cool but still lacking pizzazz purple messenger bag that I bought with a gift certificate I received for REI for my birthday.  Which is to say it cost EIGHTY NINE DOLLARS. Totally reasonable for a very well made bag but somewhat intimidating as far as randomly taking a marker to it.  But "no guts, no glory" so I "zenned" it out and I'm super pleased with the results.  I am really loving the silver Sharpie.  It works fantastically on dark backgrounds.  I also added a bit of detail over the silver with a black Sharpie in case you were wondering.

  Awhile back I was in need of a hip pack. But I could only find ugly,boring and/or expensive ones.  Fortunately I was able to find this awesome hot pink purse at Target. Most importantly, it has an adjustable strap so you can wear it as a purse or hip pack. 

 Hip packs are fantastic for impromptu dance

Before

situations i.e. street fairs, or when a great song comes on at the grocery store. Basically anytime that your purse swinging hither and yon could really cramp your style.  

After!
